00:00 The internet is furious with influencer Hailey Bailey following a TikTok she made the day
00:05 of the Met Gala.
00:07 Famous TikToker Hailey Khalil, better known as Hailey Bailey, was one of the main catalysts
00:11 for the Block Party 2024 movement.
00:14 It all started when Bailey posted a video of herself as a pre-Met Gala host, quoting
00:18 Marie Antoinette's famous line, "Let them eat cake."
00:22 The TikTok was seen as out of touch by a large portion of the internet given the ongoing
00:26 Israel-Palestine conflict, along with the financial struggles many across the United
00:31 States are facing.
00:32 Fuel was only added to the fire as news that a ticket to the Met Gala cost $75,000 spread,
00:38 with many comparing the gala this year to the famous young adult series, The Hunger
00:42 Games.
00:43 The frustration many were feeling after the Met Gala this year has turned into an online
00:47 movement that's been dubbed "Blockout 2024."
00:50 The trend aims to block celebrities that have not spoken out against the conflict in the
00:54 Middle East.
00:55 Although Hailey Bailey did post a video apologizing for using a TikTok sound that could be received
01:01 as out of touch or elitist, many TikTokers remain upset with the influencer.
